PSALM 31
Response:
Forgive, Lord, the guilt of my sin.
Verse 1:
Happy the man whose offence is forgiven,
whose sin is remitted.
O happy the man to whom the Lord imputes no guilt,
in whose spirit is no guile.
Verse 2:
But now I have acknowledged my sins;
my guilt I did not hide.
I said: ‘I will confess my offence to the Lord.’
And you, Lord, have forgiven the guilt of my sin.
Verse 3:
You are my hiding place, O Lord;
you save me from distress.
You surround me with cries of deliverence.
Verse 4:
Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord, exult, you just!
O come, ring out your joy,
all you upright of heart.
